I’m Okay, You’re Okay, Wikipedia is Great
As an author and a librarian, I love Wikipedia, and I use it for research all the time. That surprises people a lot, who think that as both an author and a librarian, I should be "better than that." I'm not better than that, though, because Wikipedia is pretty darn...
Sunday Six – 4/17/16, “Parker”
KEEP IN MIND: Sunday Six pullouts are by their nature spoilery. So if you don’t want to know, don’t read! More from Parker! I'm on the downhill run with this story; it's already at 95k words, and will probably tip over 100k when finished. So, you'll be getting a...

Newsletter Signup
I have a newsletter! Sort of. Right now it's not very sophisticated, it goes out once a week with updates about my blog. However I plan to be changing that soon to a monthly newsletter full of updates, sneak peaks, and special perks for subscribers! Sign me up! Email...
Free Read at Wattpad & AO3!
A while back the rights to my old short story, "Room for One", reverted to me. I sat on it for a while but I decided against a short story collection for the meantime. Instead, I've posted it as a free read at both Wattpad and AO3. Enjoy! Room for One Toby doesn't...
The Pasta Hit
One rarely expects to sit down at a big table at a popular restaurant with the idea that “this is it, tonight is the night we die.”
Sunday Six – “Parker” (again!) 4/26/15
